Sandown Park Race 8

Hooked On Scotch At Stud

Prize Money: $3,875

PAW GORDY (4) rocketed around 485m at Horsham in 27.08 three back then has been in the money the last two since. Expected to push the clock again here. SILVER MACK (2) goes very well at this journey having never missed the frame including two wins. Scored by 2 lengths last time (29.71) in a Mix 3/4 over 515m at this track. Looks one of the chances. TALCOTT BALE (8) is generally an honest type in the frame at 40 of 98 starts but missed the placings last time when fourth (30.13) over 515m at this track. Solid record at the distance winning four races. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. HIS SPECIAL (1) looks an each-way chance.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (35.14) at big odds over 595m at this track. Aided by the inside draw but will need the breaks to go his way.

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 29.71 in a 2 length win at this track over 515m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with her.

Missed the frame last start when a 8 length sixth (30.18) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at The Meadows. Capable and may well bounce back this time.

Placed last time (29.53) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing second and beaten a neck. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from eight starts. Expected to be in the finish.

In the money last time at this track (34.65) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 1.5 lengths second. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Others rate better this time.

Last start finished fifth on April 16 over 595m at this track behind Magic Loki, beaten 10 lengths (34.88) in a Grade 4/5. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing fifth (30.40) at The Meadows last start. Tough draw to overcome and looks a each way chance only this field.
